Going online opens up your whole world. But it can also put your devices and identity at risk. If you want extra peace of mind and to better protect your devices and identity, look no further than EE Cyber Security Powered by Norton™. You can add EE Cyber Security to your EE mobile plan, and it comes with a range of features to help keep you protected on either 2 or up to 15 devices. For that, you’ll get a range of features, including: Dark Web Monitoring-Online fraud and data breaches are on the rise and if information is taken it could end up on the Dark Web. We’ll regularly monitor if your personal information is on the dark web, which includes email addresses, bank or investment account numbers, credit card numbers, phone numbers, physical addresses, insurance accounts, driver’s license numbers, mother’s maiden name, and gamer tags and notify you if any of it has been found so you can act fast. Device Security-Device Security offers real-time protection against ransomware, viruses, spyware, malware, and other online threats. It also monitors and helps block unauthorised traffic, as well as helping to protect your private and financial information when you go online. On iOS devices, it alerts you when your operating system is out of date, so you can take action to secure and protect your device against its vulnerabilities that cybercriminals may use to take control of it or steal your personal information. Online Threat Protection-Our advanced security technology helps stop the latest attacks before they reach your device. Our goal is to help protect your private and financial information when you go online. Social Media Monitoring-Social media is full of great stuff, but it can be a dangerous place too. Social Media Monitoring is here to help. It monitors your accounts on the most popular social media sites and notifies you of suspicious activity, like changes to your account settings, unusual logins and risky links in your posts. SMS Security-Cybercriminals are not just targeting emails for scams but now text messages too. SMS Security helps to identify text messages with unsafe links, notifying you so you don’t put your personal information at risk. Report Card-Get a summary of all the activities that we've done to help protect you, your device and the information stored on it in the last 30 days. Password Manager-When you’re leading a busy life, it can be hard enough to remember what day it is, never mind remembering that 12-digit passcode for your bank account. And using the same or weak passwords can make your accounts vulnerable to cybercriminals’ attacks. That’s where Norton Password Manager comes in. It’s a one stop shop for managing your passwords, credit card information and other credentials, more securely and in one place. And if your password inspo is running dry, Norton Password Manager can even generate strong passwords for greater peace of mind. It’s all here in one app and it’s ready to help protect you, in one simple solution, wherever you are.
